"Why the set back on US Patent 6.912.476? The basis for rejecting the claim was that, these 17 were already established or known techniques. The patent in question is the US Patent 6192476 called 'Controlling Access To A Resource'. It involves mechanisms to regulate Java program codes accessing hardware, services and interfaces. However, The United States Patent and Trademark Office-USPTO finds that many of the patents mentioned are already covered by prior art."
